The Future

   Well folks I'm almost out of this place. The months have come and gone and winter is pretty much obsolete. Spring 2011 kind of means new beginings for me and the start of my new life. Am I scared? Not really, because I have faith in myself and I know that in the end things are going to end up alright. I guess optimism is one of the best qualities you can have this day in age. Despite all the shitty things going on around me I'm just going to keep on plugging. I truly mean that too!
   I guess persistence is my middle name, because if I didnt have it I would never be this close to graduating from college. Who would of fucking thought that I, Eric Engeldinger, would someday graduate from an accredited University. I wont lie at some points in my life I never thought it was going to happen, especially around my sophmore year when my fraternity got kicked out of our house, and I had to live on my buddy's floor for three months. All we did was smoke weed, get drunk, eat shrooms, and I dabbled in some prescription pill usage. Class was a second class citizen in my mind and I just wanted to have fun. And fuck it I did. It was moments in my life like this that really shaped how I am today and how I progressively matured. Even though I have learned a good bit in the classroom, I have learned a lot more out of the classroom. The "college experience" has been both good and bad to me. I learned a lot, fucked some girls and made some damn good friends. I've learned that some things are not worth getting upset about, and that sometimes things are going to go wrong no matter how hard you try. So fuck it, Im going to do what I want to do and I know that I got a good head on my shoulders and I'll be alright.
   As much as I hate Muskingum and the town of New Concord in general part of me is going to miss it, but only a slight bit. It is here that I grew up. I mean dont get me wrong I was 18 when I came here, but I feel that I came here a a vital age and this is where I truly grew up and became the person that I am today. Ok, I retract my statement of missing Muskingum what I'm really going to miss is Ulster. Ulster was my frat, and no its not Greek (kind of weird I know) but I'm kind of weird.Although I havent lived in Ulster for awile now because we got kicked off campus again I'm still going to miss all the characters that came in and out of that house, along with all the stupid random shit we did to pass the time. I'll never forget pledging and the fucksticks that I went through it with. The nights we would stay up till 4 am on a tuesday, because we were in a frat and thats what we did and all those three am monsters no guy wants to talk about to his friends.
   On that note I'm out. I do not know what the future has in store for me so I guess I'm just along for the ride.
